Tory Chancellor Philip Hammond used his speech at the Conservative Party Conference to attack Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and his “Marxist” policies.

Despite party members – and the rest of the nation – hoping to hear about the financial state of Britain, and whether the well-worn Tory ax of austerity will finally be shelved, Hammond instead focused his address on Labour.

Opposition leader Corbyn was mentioned at least a dozen times.

Alongside Corbyn warnings, Hammond talked about the leadership of North Korea, Zimbabwe and Venezuela – not subjects often found in the chancellor’s red box.

The ‘Remain’ supporter – known as ‘Spreadsheet Phil’ – used his keynote speech in Manchester to attack the opposition, despite Tory members hoping to get some news on the autumn budget.

Brexit was of course mentioned – four times – in the 35-minute speech.

Attacking the opposition, Hammond said Corbyn and Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell ought to be “treated almost as museum pieces, dinosaurs, worth preserving for the sake of historical curiosity.”

Speaking of history, Hammond also talked about Labour’s record in the late 1970s, more times than he mentioned Britain’s looming break from the EU, or perhaps the chaos tearing apart Theresa May’s cabinet.

The problems in Venezuela don’t stem from internal policies of the Maduro Government or it’s Socialist system. All the problems in Venezuela stem from the policies of New Venice (Britain) which are executed by its slave known as the U.S. State Department puppet. The particular shortages of food are only certain brands etc and all these internal issues are being caused by pressures from the Talmudic dollar system known as the petrodollar system. Now Maduro has taken the brave move to change his energy payments over to gold through the use of the petroyuan of China, this will mean the nation’s problems will soon be removed. All Maduro has to do in the meantime is remove the Trans-Atlantic Talmudic mastered fifth column from within the nation and jail them for their crimes against Venezuela and the its peoples.
